Could someone please give me a good feel for this protocol? What does it mean, where is it used, how does it work??? 1) Subscribe to comp.protocols.tcp-ip and listen in for a while. 2) Buy and read the book "Internetworking with TCP/IP - Principles, Protocols, and Architecture" by Douglas Comer, Prentice-Hall 1988, ISBN 0-13-470154-2. Then, you'll know more than about 80% of the people who hold themselves out as TCP/IP experts :-)
